Time Is an Asset

If you waste time, it wastes you.

If you invest time, it builds you.

Use the time you’ve been granted to leap from hope to achievement, vision to reality, life to poetry, and devotion to strength.

Valiant

In moments of crisis, we wait for a valiant knight to right the wrong.

The thing is, that knight in the fairytale is you.

Stand tall, do not fear the darkness, let your heart be a fortress, and protect the princesses.

Credit and Blame

The work of rebuilding the health care system is large enough that it cannot be done alone, but small enough that it can done when we all work together.

Leaders who want to mobilize everyone must get comfortable passing the credit and taking the blame.

Rebuild

People have always held power.

The thing is, we need to awaken the power in the people.

The idea of ‘You are within God and God is within you’ generates unbelievable strength, eternal hope, and relentless work.

Let this idea rebuild us so we can show up to rebuild our health care system.

Thoughts and Ambitions

Health care is a service industry.

When the service industry is broken, it’s worth looking at the individuals that make it.

When the individual is broken, it’s worth looking at the thoughts and ambitions that make him.

Let’s Grow Up

We stopped letting adults wipe us when we were in preschool.

Then why are we grown, educated, and successful adults expecting someone to come through the door to clean up the injustice and recklessness around here?

Let’s grow up and clean up! We’re it!

Was It Them or You?

Their work might be terrible, but they’re godsend.

If they didn’t do it right, maybe you did a terrible job of showing them your vision.

Optics

Have you ever looked at a pencil submerged in water?

It appears to be far bigger than it actually is.

If you’re intimidated by largeness, take a moment to ask yourself: ‘is this just optics?’

Take Control

You have the ability to create the future.

If someone else is doing it for you, it’s because you’ve let them.

Get behind the wheel and take back control.

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

Be the Spark

Attitude spreads faster than fire.

That’s why, before you walk into the proverbial meeting room, remind yourself: here enters a spark.

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
